Congressman Baumgartner’s vote for tax cuts benefiting the ultra-wealthy is hitting home in the 5th District. The Blue Mountain Action Council (BMAC) announced it will end its Thursday mobile food distributions in Walla Walla on April 24, 2025, citing federal and state funding cuts.
For years, this service has been a lifeline for families facing food insecurity. Now, vulnerable residents are left scrambling to find alternatives at limited local pantries. While Congressman Baumgartner caters to the wealthiest Americans, his constituents are forced to bear the brunt of reduced resources in essential programs.
The decision to prioritize tax breaks over vital community services shows how out of touch Baumgartner is with the needs of Walla Walla and the 5th District. Families here deserve a representative who will fight for them, not the ultra-rich.
